Who We Are
Rusty Cog Enterprises is a Design, Prototype and Manufacturing business focused on providing unique games and gadgets for everyone to enjoy.
I have made and sold products since I was in my teens. Being a Machinist / CNC Programmer has blessed me with the ability to make anything, within reason, whenever I want. Lately I have been making bar dice, fire pokers, fidget toys and rolling out a game I created called WILD COGS.
First ever adjustable height
multilevel washer game.
It all started with an idea…
In 2022 I built a set of washer boxes. Fun game but the washers bounced out most of the time. I tried multiple different playing surfaces to help deaden the washer upon impact. Sand and carpet helped. As I kept searching for ideas I stumbled upon a game called Podagee Horseshoes. I made the set pictured here and played the game for a few weeks.
This gave me many ideas on how to make it easier and more enjoyable.
Here is the first attempt at what became Battle Boxes. I drew most of it up on paper as shown below.
This set is the 2nd attempt at what was called “Battleboxes”. I added cutouts on the side to make it easier to carry. Also added adjustable risers to add another element to the game.
Below are two pictures of the 3rd attempt. Sides were added to the top level
Below are pictures of the 4th attempt. The biggest change on this version is 1” was added to the second level backboard. Also mini front bumpers to help save the front edge of the box. Below you can see different variations to make the game more challenging. Also added an adjustable height center cup option to make it more challenging.
This is our current model below. While it is the fifth attempt it is called the “V2”. The whole design was changed to incorporate the breakdown capability. The boxes fit in smaller places and are considerably easier to carry. This is also around the time that the trademark came through hence the new name…
